program 02 Iwanuma City
A chain of 6 parks and garden paths stretching 10km along the coast constructed on land that is no longer inhabitable after the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami. By linking the hills and roads (a green coastal tide embankment), they serve as a break to lessen the force of future tsunamis and function as evacuation sites in the event of a disaster. In addition, the soil used in the hills is made of tsunami debris, remnants of the lives of people living in the area. The result is a memorial park that preserves and disseminates memories of the disaster and lessons learned from it, both domestically and internationally, and serves as a place for disaster-mitigation education.
